...
write(chan->alertpipe[1], &blah, new_frames * sizeof(blah)) != (new_frames * sizeof(blah)))
is only valid when new_frames == 1. Otherwise we start reading into adjacent variables declared on the stack. The read end discards what is read, so the values don't matter but it's not a good idea to read past where we want event though new_frames is almost always 1 and should never be large. This patch is basically taken out of kpfleming's eventfd branch, as he mentioned that he remembered fixing it there when I talked to him about this issue.
Another thing that could be done is to change blah to a char[] here and where we read from the alertpipe. There is no reason to write four bytes when we could just write one, but I can address that in a later patch.</pre>
